Mini Halfwood Press #64

Ritchie's comment: Jennifer contacted me after seeing the Halfwoods online and ordered Number 64. She wrote: "I was immediately drawn to the 'warmth'
of the hand-crafted press vice the cold, industrial, mass-produced alternatives. Plus, I really liked that they are created by an artist with artistic sensibilities."
